Dna Safeguarding

DNA testing technology has been a giant leap for mankind, both in technological and human terms. Since this advancement, much care has been taken for DNA safeguarding. DNA safeguarding is a process which makes sure that genetic information that is stored in the DNA of a person is preserved, so that it can be used in the future. This process is called DNA Banking. The laboratories are greatly helped by this process. Secure and intact samples can be retrieved when it is needed, when there is an emergency.
DNA safeguarding is used for many purposes. This process allows in storing genetic information of people who are n high-risk jobs. These can include police personnel, firefighters, military people, etc. They can easily be identified by their DNA in various cases.
DNA samples can be of great help in cases where the child has been abducted, r has run away from home.
Preserving DNA samples can also assist in paternity and grand parentage testing.
Inherited diseases can be easily identified through this process.
DNA samples of people belonging to small ethnic communities can be preserved.
DNA safeguarding is not only associated with DNA Banking, but also with the process of DNA Profiling. DNA Profiling helps in creating a STR Profile of a person’s DNA. Thus, the DNA sample as well as their DNA profile can be kept in a record. DNA Profile is used for genetic identification, and while testing family relationship.
